Archive for the ‘My Daughter’

I can’t say that I am as season as some, but I do have two children of different sex’s and I would like to go over tips and advicea pregnant woman should know before having their first baby.

There’s going to be a crazy amount of horror stories that you will hear from other mothers. DON’T think that it will happen to you. Every woman is different. Every experience is different. Don’t let one mother’s story get into your head and determine what your birthing story will be.

Being emotional is COMPLETELY normal. It’s mostly in the third trimester, that you are a walking crazy lady, but it’s normal just the same.

Not every women enjoys being pregnant! We do not ALL glow. I personally hated every minute of being pregnant with my daughter. I felt like death crap ALL the time. With my son, I enjoyed everything about it! Our bodies are their own mind. You will just have to go with it!!

Pickles are not everybody’s thing! It’s funny, as soon as someone hears that you are pregnant, they automatically think that you want a jar of dill pickles with ice cream. Give me a break we don’t all have cravings and we don’t all crave the same thing!!

Some woman have the perfect basketball bellies, some do not…that’s all I will say about that.

Just because there are two of you now…doesn’t not mean you can eat for two….their is only you trying to loose the weight. Be healthy.

Reading all the books out there does not make you a perfect mother. It’s all about trial and error. We all make mistakes. All of our children have fallen off of a bed or two.

Don’t stress over every feeling that you body gives you. Enjoy what you can, and if you can’t then don’t over analyze, take a nap and then revisit the situation.

You will have to pee all the time! It will take more time to pull down your pants, dribble and wipe yourself then what will actually come out of you! This will get very annoying, but not as annoying as still ”dribbling” yourself after you have the baby.

Enjoy taking bath or shower. It won’t happen very often when you have your new baby.

It’s over rated to get brand new things for the baby, example, crib, highchair, exersaucer…….they grow out if it in a heart beat. If you can get the same things for second hand, you are smok’in with gas.

Being pregnant can be one of the most wonderful experiences. Go with it, enjoy all the firsts, enjoy people rubbing your belly and guessing what you are going to have. Basque in the glory that you are creating an amazing member to our society and your family.

These are just a few thoughts do you have any advice for an expecting mom? Did you experience any of the listed above? What would you add to your own personal list?

If you have children then I am sure that you have probably experienced this situation at one time or another; when is a good time for parents to have sex when you have children in the next room?

My husband and I have two small children, our daughter is six and our little fellow is 11 months. My hubby works nights and for the most part sleeps all day, everyday. Every now and then when he is awake in the daytime hours, we feel as though it would be nice to get it on have a quick love making session. Now with two children, this has to be a thoughtout process and done absolutely quickly, before they fight, he starts crying, or before our daughter thinks that we’ve been, ”talking to long,” and opens the door to find out, what is none of her business.

So, on the odd occasion we will ask our daughter if she can be a big girl, and babysit her brother to give her daddy and I fifteen minutes to get it on talk privately, without any interruptions. So, on that note we go in the bedroom, and do you think that I/we can concentrate? OF COURSE NOT. She is in the other room throwing a ball at his head playing catch, and not even five minutes in, our son is bored and gets up to play with the bedroom door handle and is banging on the door, screaming “momma”. Grrr.

Let’s just say that on a number of occasions my husband is not very fulfilled by the end of our, “conversation.” Does this ever happen to you? Have you ever been in the middle of having sex with your significant other and have to stop because of the children?When is a good time to have sex when you have children and both work opposite shifts?

If you are in a relationship or are married then you have probably heard that annoying phrase, “I don’t do that,” out of their mouth. This is a quote that I hear on a regular basis. There seems to be a lot of things that my significant other won’t can’t do. Now you may be one of those extremely delusional lucky women/men that think that you balance each other out and that they may not do something at the moment you ask them to, but they make up for in other ways. Well, if that is you then I am happy *rolling my eyes* that you have that kind of support system, but for me in my house, that kind of support just doesn’t exist.

This morning I was getting my daughter ready for school, so feeling a little overwhelmed I was yelling asking my husband nicely to get back out of bed to change the baby’s diaper and get him dressed so that we could take our daughter to school. So as a typical morning I am doing my daughter’s hair and asked my husband to put the baby’s shoes and socks on, well he pipes up,

“I don’t do shoes.”

Wwhhaatt!?? That make no sense to me!!@!

“Husband, do you wear shoes?”

”Um, well, yay,”

“well then you do shoes!!”

Lord grant me the strength. “I don’t do shoes,” can you imagine, if I could get away with the phrase, “I don’t do that, “ then I am pretty sure that I would be on a permanent vacation on a tropical resort, being served by hot half naked men. These are some others that I hear quite often, I don’t change diapers, I don’t dolaundry, I don’t dosilverware,I don’tcook like you and I don’t want to screw it up, that one is special. All I know is that my son will NOT be following in his father’s footsteps. Whomever gets my boy will be indebted to me forever!

Do you have any funny yet annoying phrase that your husband or significant other says to you? Do you have a “I don’t do that,” example?

Word Of The Moment

I am a lover of words. I do admit that I am not very dexterous about using them in sentences, but when I am reading a book and I see a great word it makes me smile. Words that flow so well in a paragraph and I think to myself, what I wonderful word.

So as often as I can, I will try to share with you the words that do it for me. :)
